SHYTOT:
just don’t sit there like a nodding donkey at the interview
I think someone might have something to say about that 
the maoster:

If drivers are happy to put up with this ■■■■■■■■ Harry, that’s what they should be paidIt’s not about drivers putting up with this though mate. What realistically are they expected to do? Pull out? Refuse to go in in the first place? It’s the hauliers problem to solve tbh. A good start would be to stop trying to beat every other Co on price and concentrate on quality of service instead. Oh, and grow a spine and start charging demurrage too, that’d focus some minds.
I’ve had a particularly shocking week in as much as I have never done a single load or delivery that has taken less than 3 hours to do! In fact out of 5 working days I’ve had three split breaks. Now whilst I’m paid by the hour I’m also conscious of the fact that trucks need to earn money and I seriously doubt that mine has turned a profit this week.
Will my Co approach Tesco, Sainsbury, Bidvest and the other places I’ve been ridiculously held up at and demand recompense? Will they buggery, they’ll bend over and take it terrified that Yearsleys/Reeds etc will take the crap work off them.
What you say is right mate, but if the co can’t be arsed to take steps to stand up to these ■■■■ s, to maximise their earnings, why tf should I as their driver.
As the other guy said, I’m on an hourly rate, so I will sit and expect the co to sort out the problem if they feel the need.
I stopped getting stressed and aereated about waiting around to get tipped or loaded years ago, (unless I am going home/going for a pint/on a promise, or all 3 )
You see some of them red faced and hyper active, panicking like ■■■■, what’s the point ffs?
A layed back approach keeps the heart attacks at bay, and makes for a happier work life I reckon.
Were you working for Tesco, Sainsburys & Bidvest or their suppliers ? if your working for the suppliers you charge them and they take it up with the RDCs
